Medibuntu: non-free-codecs for gutsy

Please see this article for hardy repositories and procedure, thanks :)

The non-free codecs distributed by Medibuntu now come to a single metapackage: non-free-codecs. The proper package matching the architecture will be installed (please see the Launchpad bug report below).

Just add Medibuntu repository to your sources.list:

# Medibuntu.
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free

Add the key to your keyring, reload the sources.list file and install the package:

Note1: I use aptitude. Please either use apt-get or aptitude, but do not mix the two. I’m giving here the code recommended in the Ubuntu doc, aptitude users will find their way around.
Note2: Once I install a package of interest from a third party repository, I comment the repository line in the sources.list file, and do not perform regular updates/upgrades with it.

Hi,
After doing the sudo install stuff I get the following error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
non-free-codecs: Depends: w32codecs but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
I am following this HOWTO in the hopes of getting w32codecs libdvdcss installed so I can install Mplayer. I have gutsy.
Please help
